Baylor Should Do Everything It Can to Land Florida Transfer DJ Lagway

I have to say I was unaware until yesterday that Jake Spavital was/is one of this year's Heisman winner's former mentors. Got my attention. At Indiana he had a real OL in front of him, so if that's the only missing piece here, let's get Lagway.

Spav has one of the top few QB resumes in the country. Baylor really has a lot to sell here if lagway is focused on maximizing his long term potential as a player, not to mention we are close to home and he is a legacy.

If we bring him in though he should wear his dad's six feet wide shoulder pads.

OL DJ was flying high, but Remember, he has not played well in 2 years, high TO rate, injuries, led a 2 year losing team, and, is he leaving to avoid competing, what's his work ethic, does he study film, how does he prepare himself for games? I hope Spav evaluates him as he would any other transfer and doesn't just fall in love with his last name and his HS reputation.
Folks, this is Pro football. Only go all in with players and coaches who have earned it, on the field. It's too expensive not to.

I agree with what you are saying except that we need to remember that Florida's schedule the past 2 years has been brutal. OL wasn't the best and Lagway was playing well, for a freshman, until he got hurt. I don't think Manning would have had a better freshman year than Lagway had.

I don't think we back up the Brinks truck for the guy but he's definitely a great player.

It just unfortunate that Dave couldn't see the importance of getting quality QB time to others this year - missed out on evaluating what he has in his QB room.

Lagway to me has always looked like a really raw player from his high school days up until this year. He's one of those players that needed to sit for a couple years to work on his fundamentals. His technique is sloppy which leads to accuracy issues. You can watch the tape and see that he makes some NFL throws, and I think he's better running with the ball in his hands than people give him credit for. If we do land him, I hope spav incorporates more designed runs into his game plan.. I'm just really, really curious what his price tag is. He is not a guy that I would sink 20% of our budget into (he was supposedly accounting for 10% of Florida's entire NIL budget)

Lagway won't be much of a factor when he is gone for the season before the conference schedule begins from playing behind this O-line. We have too many holes in the roster to burn up the budget on one guy.
